Fresh install of WIn 10 pro 1709 and update says that it needs to install KB4103727, but it is all ready installed, I even downloaded the standalone installer and ran it and was told that it is already installed. Is there any way to convince windows that it is installed and get rid of the message?

I also tried the reset windows update bat file I found at tenfourms, and all it did was clear the list of failed installs and made update recheck for updates, which it says it still needs the cumulative update, which is installed.

"Since the initial release of Windows 10 (1507), enterprise customers have had the option to enable virtualization-based security (VBS) and hypervisor protected code integrity (HVCI) to increase platform threat resistance. In Windows 10 Creators Update (1709) we consolidated these system integrity features in Windows Defender System Guard.

In an upcoming release of Windows 10, we will be bringing a subset of VBS features to all editions of Windows to ensure our customers remain safe from increasingly sophisticated attacks. Devices that meet hardware and firmware requirements will have parts of VBS enabled by default. Additionally, as part of this effort, Hypervisor protected code integrity (HVCI) will also be available and turned on by default in clean installs; for older systems, customers will have the ability to opt in post upgrade using the UI in Windows Defender Security Center (WDSC). This enhancement will ensure that the kernel process that verifies code integrity runs in a secure runtime environment provided by VBS. This will allow Windows 10 to protect the widest possible range of diverse users and scenarios"

Ignoring the fact that Win 10 is not yet AI Aware, so it doesn't like anything or have any preference for "updates that are screwy" you are probably annoyed that the twice-yearly updates can be disrupting for some people.

I think it is a side effect of the abstract contract we have all entered into as a bargain sale priced deal too good to turn down. We get Windows 10 forever for free instead of paying $200 for a major update to a new version every 2 years and in return Microsoft gets to have a universal code base and the right to divide that 2 year Giant Major $200 New Windows Version into 4 smaller but sometimes semi-major updates.

We instinctively feel we never signed on to this by signing anything anywhere but when we pause for a moment to think about it we would probably agree to it if we had the choice...

So, for me I just feel we are coming out ahead just a little bit except when I think back on some of the great "Start Me Up" new Windows releases, those 4 semi-major updates over 2 years just don't seem to add up to the same sort of feature set improvement...

But that is probably just a symptomatic effect of the Agile Development Model in general as features get cut to meet delivery deadlines and a lot of very ho-hum uninspiring stuff gets deployed...

I must admit, I have upgraded through all versions at some point (only 3 so far on 1803) but have been fortunate enough not to hit any issues.

They are slipstreaming in some fundamental breaking changes such as running device drivers in Hypervisor VMs here... and my thread in this forum where they are removing SMB 1.0 on computers they think don't need it.

Both these updates make it harder for RansomeWare so it's a tough call on an Eternally Updating Operating System that wants to add features and improve security on 1.3 Billion Windows Computers with a super-myriad-plethora of hardware configurations.

If Windows is asking for the same update again and again then the reason could be it is not completely insatlled or OS is not able to detect the install. In both cases you can try uninstalling that particular update, restarting the computer and installing it one again afresh.
